Help wanted: Manufacturers hiring even as overall job numbers decline

Oh! I must have shot past this post.

This is in line with what I’ve seen repeatedly since 2008 at least. Employers bitching that they can’t find people with experience, then it turns out that what they REALLY mean is they can’t find people with experience willing to work for the shitty wage they want to pay.

If you suggest they pay more, or train less experienced people their response to the first is to look at you like you’re crazy, and to the second is, “But then they’ll take a job with somebody who pays better!”

No shit. Who wouldn’t?
